Portret in een prentenboek

Een portret gemaakt in een prentenboek. Het was echt de bedoeling dat ze ge:irriteerd zou kijken, maar pas naderhand zag ik dat ze nu heel boos lijkt te kijken naar dat lieve meisje op de andere pagina haha! Zij stond in het prentenboek en is niet door mij weg gegessoed.

Ruined and saved spread, and a neglected blog......

Since these days I show all my artwork via Facebook, I must admit I have totally neglected my blog. So sorry, I will probably get no comments at all since nobody is watching anymore.....
Anyhow, made this spread and hated it! Not my colours, and I found it looked rather messy. Well, that is me, Messy Frea LOL!!
So I decided to take out my Jane Davenport book, and practice drawing a face onto my ugly spread, and 'lo and behold', I actually like it now.....

The background is collaged, and I used inksprays en stencils, and then moved on to acrylic paints. I used some cut out heart masks from leftover paper.

The face was done with acrylic paint. I love the way her eyes turned out. You can see the edges of the colleged paper here and there, but I really don't mind that. I think she looks a little sad (as do all Jane's faces), but she also looks really sweet. Like a lovable person.

Then I stamped my message, which is good advice, and I should take it to heart myself....

Hope anyone is still watching, otherwise this would be a wasted effort. Have a great Wednesday you all!
Hugs Frea
